[Unions of Lansingburgh vs. Mutual 8/10/1866] In the last innings the Mutuals adopted the junior tactic, in allowing their players to follow the striker round the field, yelling him to the base or home like a parcel of Fenians attacking a Canadian regiment; a style of thing a club like the Mutuals should leave to the boys. With any ordinary club the yelling business might have had its effect, but the Unions are too old a set of players to be intimidated by that style of thing, and the only effect it had was to make them play up sharper, and be more determined to win than before.
